Diet: Day 1-Dinner

"What does a warrior eat?". That may sound a bit silly in this time and age, but the question still applies. Nowadays when people think "warrior" they probably think of athletic icons, people they see on television, the gym rat who is always at the gym, and a whole slew of other images of "warrior" that bombard us each and every day. While it may be true that those people are at the peak of athletic excellence, they are often the most un-healthy people out there. Between all the chemicals they put into their bodies, and the nutritionally shallow foods most of them eat, they are really not the ones we should look to for a model of how a warrior eats.

A warrior only eats things that are natural, whole, and nutrient dense. Lots of fruits and vegetables, plenty of plant based fats and protein, moderate amounts of lean animal protein, and water. In short, a warrior only eats things that will help him to be more healthy, and not things that will passively kill him.

Day 1-Dinner

I had 5 hot dogs and two ears of corn for dinner. I have to say, I wasn't stuffed, so that's what I'm going for. Then later I ate the caramel apple dessert they have at taco bell, I still wasn't stuffed, but once I got the arizona iced tea and sweedish fish I was starting to feel a little bloated... ok, I know what I need to feel like when I need to start backing off the food.

Lesson learned, now moving on.
